Ivory Coast, meanwhile, defeated Guinea Bissau 2-0 in their first game.
“Nigerians should expect us to try to give our best and win the game,” Omeruo was quoted by Sports Brief as saying.
“Obviously, they are playing at home as the host [nation]. I think we are better than them, and I think we can win that game, but we have to go out there, stay focused and try to win.”
